Dalton Town with Newton sits on the Furness peninsula in Westmorland and Furness, in north-west England, a short drive from the industrial town of Barrow-in-Furness and within easy reach of the southern fringes of the Lake District. The parish combines a small market town feel with surrounding villages and countryside, tucked between coastal marshes and rolling inland farmland that make it a handy base for walkers and visitors exploring the Furness peninsula.
Historically the area grew up around a medieval market and the old administrative centre for Furness, and landmarks such as Dalton Castle and the parish church speak to that past. Today the local economy mixes independent shops, services and farming with many residents commuting to nearby industry, while a steady trickle of heritage-minded visitors bolsters community events, clubs and a strong small‑town civic identity.
